Transform every mealtime into a moment of calm with the Vela Soothe-Lick — a therapeutic slow feeder lick mat that turns your pet's natural licking instinct into a powerful anxiety-relief ritual.
Why pet parents love it
-
Reduces anxiety naturally: The act of licking triggers endorphin release, helping your pet self-soothe during thunderstorms, grooming sessions, or time spent alone at home.
-
Slows down eating: The nubby textured surface paces food consumption, helping to prevent gulping and bloating for better digestive health.
-
Freshens breath: That same textured surface acts as a gentle tongue scraper, removing bacteria and keeping your pet's breath fresher between brushings.
-
Easy to use and clean: Made from high-quality, food-grade non-toxic plastic, the mat features a built-in snack line to help manage portions and keep floors or crates mess-free.
How it helps
Simply spread your pet's favourite treat — yogurt, peanut butter, or wet food — across the textured surface. As they lick, they engage both body and mind, settling into a calm, focused state. It's a safe, rewarding tool for daily physical and mental wellness.
Perfect for
- Stressful events like thunderstorms or fireworks
- Keeping pets calm during grooming or vet prep
- Solo time at home to ease separation anxiety
- Slowing fast eaters and supporting healthy digestion
- Dogs and cats of all sizes
